Oracle also provides all errata and updates for Oracle Linux via the Oracle Yum Server service, which includes updates to the base distribution, but does not include Oracle-specific software. You do not require an Oracle Linux support subscription to use this service. For more information on how to obtain updates from Oracle Yum Server, see https://yum.oracle.com.
By default, all new installations of Oracle Linux 6 Update 4 are automatically configured to use the Oracle Yum Server update service. If you subsequently register the system with ULN, the Oracle Yum Server service is automatically disabled.
